SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Simplifies the provisioning and orchestration of large-scale HPC and rendering tasks by using Azure Batch, enabling automated pool management, job scheduling, and task execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-scaling: Automatically adjusts pool size based on workload and pending tasks.
  • Container tasks & rendering: Supports containerized tasks and rendering pipelines for DCC apps.
  • Use Case: Coordinate HPC simulations or media rendering at scale with minimal orchestration.

Quick Start

Create a pool, submit a job, and add tasks using az batch CLI to run your workload.
